Looking like I chose poorly picking GTown here. 

Same. Did we all underrate the P12 and overrate the B1G after all this?  Based on early results

It was not 

It wasn’t ruled that yes.  Could they have upgraded? Absolutely.  I’m wondering if 1 of the 3 refs was out voted.  Oh well, Colorado gonna win this one pretty easily with or without Walker.

Yeah, it’s a funny name, and everyone loves an upset, especially when it’s the fucknuts. But I’m guessing America won’t necessarily “love” them when they find out who Oral Robert’s was. Every bit the fraud as today’s fraudsters, but one of the first to do it nationwide on tv.

[Pancho 44,475]

I can’t fill out brackets but I would have struggled to pick Georgetown.  Before their tournament run, they only had a winning streak of 2 games a few times.  Just inconsistent.

[Js1 85,109]

Yeah they’re as bad as Liberty. Fuck Ohio State, fuck Oral Bob, fuck Liberty. 

[Hagbard Celine 10,760]

i had to switch from colo/georgetown

there are many northeast accents i can deal with

the goombah tri-state bridge & tunnel is like nails on a chalk board

Found myself in a weird position rooting for ORU over OSU. Oral Roberts was a revolutionary among epic piles of shit.

Fuck em all. Hook em

Hoyas think guarding the three-point line is merely a suggestion.

11/16 on threes.

Between the accent and the paid-by-the-word mentality, Lavin is my least favorite announcer in this tournament.

Makes me wonder if the Pac is better than people were saying.  I think I like UCLA tonight.

I would have liked Mich St a bit better but it certainly could be a toss up type game. BYU isn't a slouch. They kept it tight with Zaga for 30-35 minutes which is more than most teams in the country can say.

Dang, I took Georgetown pretty far, thought they were on a roll.

Did you mean Lappas?

[Pancho 44,475]

Every game that tips that doesn't have Doug Sirmons as a ref makes me nervous....

Sheesh, U Not Cool Greensboro.

On to E. Washington.

Henry Steele would be proud(yes I know, filmed at CSU).

[Beau Vine 54,001]

#35 for EWU looks exactly like an resident of eastern Washington stereotype.

And yes, fuck Lappas.

[clapclapclap 9,000]

Is that Napoleon Dynamite on EWU?

Daniel Stern from E Wash makes Self take a TO.

Go Red Turf!!! 

[Trey3216 15,325]

Good to see Mr Larson/Jaws getting some run for EWU.

 

[ztejas 43,264]

Sometimes I feel like upset picks are too sexy to where people wind up ignoring why that team was seeded what they are. Georgetown is a good example of this. 

The BEST picks every year for higher seeds to make a run seem to be the ones that don't get much attention - like UNT who now has a good shot at the SS. 

(Not saying I picked UNT - I had Purdue in my SS)

Whoa, O. K. Lumberjack and Napoleon Dynamite are brothers:

Good bounce back by UNCG.

Thinking Iona/Bama could be game of the day, especially if both teams get out and run & gun.

Father Karras rolling over in his grave. 

[ztejas 43,264]

This is such a mediocre Kansas team. I think they probably stick this one out but I wouldn't be confident in them at all in the next round. 

And I know they're missing some juice - but Kansas should be 10-12 deep every year. This just isn't one of those teams.

Kansas really sucks on offense....  

YUCK

[Pancho 44,475]

Christ, that LSU/St. B score right now

Thanks for the trip down memory lane, Dana. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Bitch. 

Bonnies/Tiger struggling Offensively.  I've heard the Bonnies can defend and it looks like it.

This LSU "game" is a fucking abortion.

They're getting cooked on defense in this game. Their offense is fine.

Shooting 15-36 and 5-17 from 3 isn't even "fine" for Shaka Smart.

On pace to go to overtime at 20 - 20.

Yes KU needs to defend better... But KU's SUCKASS offense has lead to a lot of easier scores for EWash.
